Surveys

14.8K
Often, psychologists develop surveys as a means of gathering data. Surveys are lists of questions to be answered by research participants, and can be delivered as paper-and-pencil questionnaires, administered electronically, or conducted verbally. Generally, the survey itself can be completed in a short time, and the ease of administering a survey makes it easy to collect data from a large number of people.

Longitudinal Research02:20

Longitudinal Research

12.0K
Sometimes we want to see how people change over time, as in studies of human development and lifespan. When we test the same group of individuals repeatedly over an extended period of time, we are conducting longitudinal research. Longitudinal research is a research design in which data-gathering is administered repeatedly over an extended period of time. For example, we may survey a group of individuals about their dietary habits at age 20, retest them a decade later at age 30, and then again...

Archival Research01:40

Archival Research

16.0K
Some researchers gain access to large amounts of data without interacting with a single research participant. Instead, they use existing records to answer various research questions. This type of research approach is known as archival research. Archival research relies on looking at past records or data sets to look for interesting patterns or relationships. For example, a researcher might access the academic records of all individuals who enrolled in college within the past ten years and...

Observational Studies01:11

Observational Studies

8.6K
Observational studies are a type of analytical study where researchers observe events without any interventions. In other words, the researcher does not influence the response variable or the experiment's outcome.
There are three types of observational studies – Prospective, retrospective, and cross-sectional.
Prospective Study
Prospective studies, also known as longitudinal or cohort studies, are carried out by collecting future data from groups sharing similar characteristics. One...

Blind Procedures

10.6K
Ideally, the people who observe and record the children’s behavior are unaware of who was assigned to the experimental or control group, in order to control for experimenter bias. Experimenter bias refers to the possibility that a researcher’s expectations might skew the results of the study. Remember, conducting an experiment requires a lot of planning, and the people involved in the research project have a vested interest in supporting their hypotheses. If the observers knew which...

Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Residency Admissions
  • Applicant Decision-Making

Background:

  • Increasing residency applications strain holistic review, leading programs to rely on numerical filters.
  • Applicants face limited information, causing overapplication and difficulty assessing program fit.
  • Greater transparency in the residency application process is needed for applicants.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify the most beneficial information for residency program applicants when selecting where to apply.
  • To analyze these preferences based on different medical school educational backgrounds.

Main Methods:

  • Anonymous survey distributed via Twitter and Instagram to 2023 residency match applicants.
  • Respondents selected top 3 factors from a list to assess program alignment with their application.
  • ANOVA was used to compare helpful factors across different medical school backgrounds (US-MD, DO, IMG).

Main Results:

  • 4649 applicants responded, with significant differences in preferred information by educational background.
  • International Medical Graduates (IMGs) prioritized minimum USMLE/COMLEX Step 2 scores (65.48%), resident hometown region (58.48%), resident medical school region (66.7%), and underrepresented minority (URM) faculty (68.32%).
  • US-MD and DO applicants showed varied preferences for these factors, with US-MD applicants favoring URM faculty (22.98%) and resident medical school region (22%).

Conclusions:

  • Applicant preferences for residency program information significantly differ based on educational background.
  • All applicant groups seek transparency in standardized exam scores, geographic data, and resident/attending diversity.
  • This highlights the need for programs to provide tailored, transparent information to meet diverse applicant needs.
